A Prayer for the Headlines for Thursday, October 14

Good Morning, God,




Indeed, this is a good morning, for we are rejoicing at the successful rescuing of the 33 Chilean miners! Lord, what a blessing for the headlines - not only good news, but great news! We give you thanks for the brain power, the heart power, and the mechanical power that it took for the 33 to survive so long in the earth underground and return them to the surface, and for the countless people to survive the stress and waiting on the surface. Thank you for the health, safety, and rescuing of everyone involved.




Gracious God, these miners may feel "born again," like they have "come out of the womb" again. Lord, sometimes we feel that, after being in the midst of a crisis and having been saved from it, that we also have come out of the womb again, because we have felt surrounded by your love and care. Thank you for being with us in our crises, Lord. And, Lord, we pray that you will always surround us with the womb of your love every day and night, whatever our situations.




In Jesus' name, Amen.
